Reasonable Quotes (page 133)

There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust.

We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead. Howard Schultz

It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works? that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know... Carl Sagan

In all discussions of Hell we should keep steadily before our eyes the possible damnation, not of our enemies nor our friends (since both these disturb the reason) but of ourselves. C. S. Lewis

Terry Prachett quote: "When all else failed, she tried being reasonable."
When all else failed, she tried being reasonable. Terry Prachett
How could Reagan live in a WhiteHouse, which has a lot of rooms, and there be homelessness? And he's talking about helping. I don't believe that there is anyone that is going hungry in America simply by reason of denial or lack of ability to feed them. It is by people not knowing where or how to get this help. Why can't he take people off the street and put them in his White House? Then he'll have people from the streets to help him with his ideas. Not helpless! Homeless! Not helpless They... Tupac Shakur
You'll have to ask Bill that, Sookie. And this is the only reason we're going? You're not cleverly usingthis as an excuse to make out with me?"I'm not that clever, Eric."I think you deceive yourself, Sookie," Eric said with a brilliant smile. (Living Dead in Dallas) Charlaine Harris
For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like. Aiden Wilson Tozer
People work too hard to figure out the meaning of their lives. Why me, why now. The truth is, sometimes things don't happen to you for a reason. Sometimes it's just about being in the right place at the right time for someone else. Jodi Picoult
Women's mutual understanding comes from the fact that they identify themselves with each other; but for the same reason each is against the others. Simone de Beauvoir
